EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the midst of a heartbreaking closure, this poignant print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 22nd of December, 1977. Exmouth Zoo, once bustling with life and wonder, now stands desolate and empty. The council's orders regarding cramped living conditions for the animals forced its doors shut forever. As plans for an extension were denied by the council, over 200 beloved creatures faced an uncertain fate. Some lucky ones found new homes while others had to be tragically put down. Amidst this turmoil, we witness a tender moment between Kelsay Smith, a devoted keeper at Exmouth Zoo, and Bambi. In this heartwarming scene frozen in time, Kelsay leans forward to give Bambi - one of the zoo's cherished residents - a gentle Christmas kiss. Their bond transcends the pain surrounding them; it symbolizes love triumphing over adversity. This photograph serves as a reminder of both the joyous memories created within these zoo walls and the importance of animal welfare. It prompts us to reflect on our responsibility towards these innocent beings who share our planet. Let this image transport you back to an era when zoos held both fascination and controversy – where dedicated keepers like Kelsay fought tirelessly against limitations imposed upon them by external forces.
